Hey forum just a quick question about my power steering. I have a r33 series 1.5 with air bag in the steering wheel, yesterday I replaced the steering wheel with an aftermarket one and the steering is now really stiff. I just replaced with the standard boss kit leaving all wires disconnected. The steering really is horrible without the power steering and I wanted to know if anyone knows what I did wrong and has a solution to get the power steering back. I had my hicas removed and replaced with a delete bar a little while back , so the hicas light is on but it does not affect my power steering as it was driving fine until I replaced steering wheel yesterday.

Did you use a HICAS-specific boss kit? If not, your steering sensor won't be getting engaged and HICAS might be throwing more faults. From what I recall, HICAS has a connection into the power-steering solenoid.

Quickest check would be to put the original steering wheel back on and see if that fixes it.

Anyway, hopefully others will have more ideas :)

(Searching HICAS-specific threads for information might give more clues too)

No didnt use a hicas specific boss kit, just a regular one. Took the wheel off and all connections didnt plug anything back up and replaced it.

i dont know of a way to bypass it. if there is a way, i'd love to hear it.

i left mine unplugged, just to see if i could get away with removing it. 30 seconds into the drive, the steering would go heavy. did it several times, then connected it back up.
